The mirror
The axis of opposition.
Disposition
The Mirror reflects. Presenting the inverted mirror image, it holds the potential for insight into the relatonship betweeen inner and outer.
situation
Disposition and situation face each other as if in a mirror—reflecting, inverting, perhaps resisting. Fire meets Eater, Earth meets Air, in perfect paradox. The axis is not a call to arms but to see clearly. In fact, the more you resist, the clearer the reflection becomes. What opposes you may ultimately complete you.
INTEGRATION
The Mirror is the alchemical state of reflection — where consciousness turns inward to behold itself.
It is both revelation and challenge, for what is seen cannot be unseen.
Here you walk the path between truth and illusion, learning to discern projection from presence.
Through relationship, you come to know yourself; through self-awareness, you purify relationship.
The Mirror is neither passive nor vain — it is the crucible of awakening, where shadow and light exchange faces until only essence remains.
The Mirror illumines the soul who realises that every encounter is a reflection of their own becoming.
“The quick sighted in the Mirror well know upon what body the medicine is to be projected to bring it to perfection.”
alchemy
Expecting the outer world to align with its wishes, the ego is often frustrated. Just as the mirror image is an inversion of reality, the mirror’s perfect misalignment of inner and outer is revealing.
